So, when it comes to leadership training, what would you say your biggest challenge is?
Kelly Chickos
My biggest challenge is really working hard for a global reach. There are things that we do very well locally, but I think we miss so many opportunities because I’m headquartered here to really reach a lot of our global leaders. It’s a challenge with resource availability and rapid growth in the business. But we’re a global company, and we have to continue to work on that. So, two days ago, I had one of my frontline leadership sessions, and the topic was motivation. We have a global representation, and one of the items in the curriculum for motivation is Susan Fowler’s YouTube video on the Mystery of Motivation. Great video. Because of bandwidth challenges, I like to have each participant launch it from their own computer at their own location. And one of my participants in China said we don’t have YouTube in China.
I never realized that. I didn’t know. So, what I had to do was play it from my system. And, of course, with the network, there was a lag. But I learned something I didn’t know that they didn’t have YouTube as a learning resource in China.
